Let’s be honest—the escort ships from the Dargonus colony projects are a bit underwhelming. This mod gives them modest improvements so they actually have a role in the game, without trivializing or overshadowing space battles.
Upgrades include:
Both escorts gain a basic armor module and improved shields.
The Frigate gets a second pair of macrocannons.
The Destroyer swaps its torpedo launchers for the dual dorsal cannon found on the pirate variant.
And just for fun: the escorts are no longer mutually exclusive—you can field both if you’d like.

Instructions
Important: You will need to install MicroPatches version 1.17.4 or higher for this mod to work.
unzip the folder into C:\Users\Me\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Warhammer 40000 Rogue Trader\Modifications
Once the folder is there, you may need to edit your OwlcatModificationManagerSettings.json file. This is one level up from the mod's folder. It needs to look something like:
{"$id":"1","SourceDirectories":[],"EnabledModifications":["jhBetterWingmen","BigFlagship","jhExpandedArchetypes"],"ActiveModifications":["jhBetterWingmen","jhExpandedArchetypes"],"DisabledModifications":[]}
You will need to add the two entries for jhBetterWingmen following the format above. Once this file is edited you can start your game and you should see the mod in the in-game mod tool (not the built in Unity Mod Manager)
